Lake Barrington to Longford

From there we soldiered on through quaint little villages, Mole Creek & my very favourite Chudleigh I just love that name !!!!!
On towards Deloraine, first stop Ashgrove Cheese for a sample of their fabulous range of cheeses. They also had a large number of painted cows scattered about, reminding us of the Cow Run in Margaret River.

This is Commando Cow....
This Lass kept an eye on you as you came in.....
A couple of them in the garden bed keeping an eye on visitors cars ! Photo not taken of the next stop which was Christmas Hill Raspberry Farm.....oh my ...... chocolate covered raspberries...scones....yum!!!!

In Deloraine the Yarn and Silk Display within the Museum was enchanting.....check these out..
Four huge panels depicting the history & life in Deloraine.


......then the detail of the Quoll...amazing...!!

Out back was the Snarers Shed...with pelt and tools and snares.

More indication of how things were in times gone by.

An Aquaphone...check it out. It had many musical instruments operated by water which runs down the timber spiral.

Statute of the local favourite who won the Melbourne Cup...stands proudly at the front door.
